I hope they don't follow your thinking.

TJ is on the downside of his career. Still productive but on the downside. We've got some young guys that might show promise so if he comes in then someone has to go. Glad we passed. Good move for Baltimore.

Lets close this thread now because who gives a shit about the Ravens?!!

i'm happy we didn't get him...I'd rather get a stud in this next years WR class than him. he's got like what 4 years left? maybe less? but this is the deepest WR class I can ever remember.

Unsure as to why people thought Housh was the answer to our problems, he's no #1, never has been.
Good for him and good for the Ravens, it's a perfect fit for both of them.

I think Santana can handle the #1 role, it's just we don't want Joey Galloway actually being the #2. He's 38, he's had like 200 yards receiving in his last two seasons apiece, and I feel the less we have to rely on him, the better. And Housh is easily a quality #2 wideout, even last year in Seattle with their myriad of qb's that played while Hasselbeck was out, he still managed to get to 900 yards receiving. He's better than everybody we've got behind Moss. But all that's under the bridge now that he signed with Baltimore.

With all that being said, welcome back Jsarno!

I agree...I didn't like signing Galloway at all, so clearly I do not want to see him the #2, I'm still holding out hope that Thomas will win that spot. I wouldn't have minded us getting housh, just that I would no way want him as a #1, nor is he good enough to be a #1. So in that sense, I certainly understand what you are saying.

With all that being said, welcome back Jsarno!

Thanks man...I haven't had a lot of time in the recent months...although I might have a little more here since I am waiting for surgery. (torn rotator cuff)

Yeah I agree, if we got V.Jax there might be more of a discussion of him taking over the #1 role, but if we get anybody else, we'd probably look at getting Galloway out of the starting lineup. I really wish DT had stepped up and taken that #2 job during the summer but if he doesn't take it this season he's never gonna take it. If both DT and MK turn out to be busts I'm gonna be really disappointed.

And that really sucks to hear that you have a torn rotator cuff man. Good luck with the surgery and recovery, it sounds like you're going to have your hands full for the next few months.

I hear ya man...I was really expecting big things from Thomas this year, it appears that's more like a 10% chance now.

Not looking forward to it...my recovery time is 3-6 months...that sucks. At least I'll have more time to play playstation. haha. I just want to be able to use my arm again like normal.

Not only is he not a #1 but he can't run away from anyone. Yeah he's good underneath but we're already got two TE's for that. I just don't think he's what we need.

I hate the Raven's. I would rather see Dallas win then the Ravens's. You know why, because Raven fans are A**H****.

Really?? Don't think I can agree with you on that one. But to each it's own I guess.
